Started keeping two (2) one pound boxes of baking soda and a quart bottle of water with a wide top in a separate zip bag next to my truck IFAK blowout bag.
First box goes directly on the affected area (usually face) then sprinkle on half the water.
Second box goes into the bottle with the last half of the water making a thin slurry of baking soda or sodium carbonate.
Just rip off half of the top of the box to spread directly on the face.
Same with the second box, rip off half of the top of the box and hold the top of the water bottle with the side of your palm and little finger and use your palm as a funnel to get the baking soda in.
User a finger to ramrod the baking soda in and thumb or palm over the top of the bottle for a quick shake.
Continue to apply to any areas that “fizz” or create bubbles as there is still acid present.
It is not perfect but it is a LOT better than nothing till paramedics arrive and will make a huge difference in the wound.
.
And countless knife crimes!
